Summary
A journal club discussion of the MIND randomised controlled trial, comparing a multisensory bundle (infant-directed voice, parental scent, holding and containment) with recorded voice alone in preterm infants, using event-related potentials of speech-sound discrimination. The presenters unpack the trial design, the Bayley and PLS-5 language outcomes at age two, and practical takeaways for talking to babies on the unit.
